INTRODUCTION 


IHE  CRAFTSMAN  BUNGALOW  BOOK  is  designed  to  present  to  those  interested  in  home  building 
•the  very  highest  types  of  bungalows  adapted  to  the  cooler  climates  of  the  North  and  East.  This  book  is 
unique  in  the  fact  that  while  every  design  or  plan  shown  is  a  true  bungalow,  none  of  them  are  subject  to  the 
handicaps  found  in  the  California  types,  which  make  no  provision  for  basements,  heating  plants,  and  other 
necessary  utilties  without  which  a  Northern  home  is  a  failure.  It  is  arranged  for  the  purpose  of  showing, 
by  illustration,  floor  plans  and  word  descriptions  the  attractive  and  comfort-givmg  features  of  the  Craftsman 
Bungalow.  Many  residents  of  the  temperate  zone  look  with  envious  eyes  upon  the  cozy  bungalows  of 
California,  while  they  bemoan  the  apparent  fact  that  such  a  type  of  house  would  be  anything  but  home- 
climates,  with  no  basement  for  heating  plants  or  other  features  of  primary  importance  in  a  locality  where  the 
winters  are  cold  or  wet,  as  in  the  Northwest  and  East.  To  show  them  that  the  bungalow  type  may  be  adapted  to  any  climate, 
we  have  taken  the  latest  designs  and  arranged  the  plans  for  this  climate  so  they  will  give  the  greatest  degree  of  satisfaction  to 
the  bungalow  owner.  Realizing  some  years  ago  the  certain  popular  demand  now  being  felt  for  smaller  and  more  convenient 
houses,  we  have  made  a  specialty  of  designing  and  building  these  homes  in  the  Northern  states  and  with  a  success  which  has 
been  a  matter  of  pride  not  only  to  the  owners  but  ourselves  as  well.  Of  late  other  architects  have  taken  up  the  subject, 
forced  to  meet  the  demand  as  best  they  could,  whether  or  not  they  were  familiar  with  the  needs  of  their  sections.  They  have 
gone  so  far  in  their  eagerness  to  meet  all  wishes  as  to  apply  the  term  bungalow  to  many  crude  alterations  of  cottages  or  even 
more  substantial  types  of  residences. 


The  designing  of  an  artistic  bungalow  of  the  true  type  requires  as  mnuch  skill  and  education  as  does  any  other  branch 
of  the  architect’s  work.  The  man  with  the  experience  and  training  is  the  one  to  give  you  the  best  results.  All  of  the  designs 
in  this  book  are  bungalows  pure  and  simple  .  Most  of  them  are  our  own  ideas.  They  are  only  a  few  of  the  many  designs 
on  hand,  but  they  will  serve  to  show  you  something  of  the  concentrated  beauty,  convenience  and  comfort  to  be  obtained 
from  owning  a  real  Craftsman  Bungalow. 


Our  estimates  of  cost,  while  applying  in  this  city,  may  be  above  or  below  the  cost  elsewhere,  depending  on  the  differ¬ 
ence  in  price  of  material  and  labor  of  all  kinds  in  various  parts  of  the  country.  Owing  to  the  fluctuations  of  the  labor  and 
material  market  at  the  present  time  it  is  impossible  to  prepare  estimates  which  will  meet  with  these  conditions  at  all  times. 
The  estimates  of  cost  of  construction  in  this  book  cover  all  labor  and  material  complete,  with  the  exception  of  heating  plant, 
and  are  based  on  the  following  schedule  of  prices:

If  the  exterior  and  floor  plans  are  suitable,  a  more  or  less  expensive  material  may  be  used  to  get  practically  the  same 
results,  when  the  cost  figure  does  not  satisfy.  A  few  minor  changes  in  plans  can  be  made  to  suit  individual  tastes  without 
changing  the  outside  appearance  and  without  the  great  expense  of  re-drawing.

368 — A  veritable  mansion  and  all  on  one  floor,  or  practically  so.  The  two  rooms 
proviaed  in  the  rear  gable  upstairs  are  small,  but  amply  large  enough  for  the  purpose  in¬ 
tended.  Every  room  in  the  house  is  large  and  yet  not  one  inch  is  wasted.  Note  the  con¬ 
venient  arrangement  of  all  rooms — the  amount  of  cupboard  space  provided  in  kitchen  and 
pantry.  The  reception  hall  is  the  connecting  link  between  the  living  room  and  the  balance 
of  the  house  and  serves  as  an  appropriate  carriage  entrance.  The  attractive  porch  is  well 
sheltered  and  makes  a  splendid  lounge  in  warm  weather.  The  exterior  of  the  house  is 
sand-finished  cement  stucco,  while  the  roof  is  of  asphalt  shingles  curved  down  at  eaves  and 
cornice.  The  large  fluted  columns  are  of  wood,  while  the  front  steps  are  paving  brick.

723 — h  is  rather  stretching  the  imagination  to  call  this  a  bungalow  but  owing  to  the 
fact  that  we  have  had  a  number  of  calls  for  large  houses  we  are  presenting  this  design  as 
an  illustration  of  the  work  we  have  been  doing  along  this  line.  This  is  an  especially  well 
built  home  and  combines  as  its  exterior  the  permanence  of  brick  veneer  on  the  first  floor 
walls  and  the  equally  everlasting  red  cedar  lap  siding  of  the  second  story.  The  roof  of 
clear  Washington  red  cedar  shingles  will  give  leaktight  service  for  years  to  come.  A  study 
of  the  floor  plans  will  convince  the  interested  that  nothing  has  been  spared  to  render  the 
plan  complete  in  its  every  appointment.  From  the  front  door  to  the  back  door  and  from 
the  large  well  lighted  full  size  basement  to  the  garret  everything  that  would  add  to  the  at¬ 
tractiveness  or  convenience  of  the  various  rooms  has  been  thought  of  and  provided.

6 1  9 — An  exterior  which  is  practically  a  duplicate  of  that  shown  on  page  seven  and  a 
[dan  arrangement  that  is  very  similar  but  on  a  slightly  larger  scale.  Two  rooms — namely, 
den  and  child’s  room — are  provided  in  this  plan  which  are  not  to  be  found  in  plan  number 
467,  and  by  the  provision  of  a  few  more  windows  the  child’s  room  could  very  easily  be 
used  as  a  sleeping  porch  if  so  desired.  A  glance  at  the  living  room  interior  shown  on  this 
page  will  give  one  an  idea  of  the  splendid  opportunity  offered  in  the  fine  large  rooms.  The 
difference  of  six  feet  in  width  between  this  home  and  its  prototype  has  certainly  been  used 
to  advantage  as  can  be  readily  seen  in  a  comparison  of  bedrooms.  The  attic  plan  calls 
for  a  division  of  the  space  into  two  bedrooms,  sleeping  porch  and  generous  closets.

467 — 1  his  IS  a  style  of  bungalow  that  is  becoming  very  popular  in  the  Western 
states.  I  he  lines  of  the  house  are  very  graceful  and  the  whole  effect  is  very  attractive.  I  he 
design  calls  for  brick  veneer  to  the  height  of  the  watertable  with  sawed  shakes  above.  I  he 
brick-faced  porch  and  chimney  give  the  building  a  substantial  air  of  plenty,  borne  out  by 
the  very  liberal  lines  of  the  house.  The  living  and  dining  rooms  are  connected  by  a  wide 
opening,  which  may,  if  desired,  convert  them  into  practically  one  room.  1  here  are  two 
bed  rooms  with  small  halls,  each  with  a  door  leading  to  either  the  kitchen  or  bath  room. 
Perhaps  the  most  attractive  feature  of  this  design  is  the  large  breakfast  room,  which  opens 
from  the  pantry  and  dining  room  and  so  arranged  that  it  has  windows  on  three  sides.

468  A — This  is  one  of  the  best  exarrples  of  the  true  Mission  style.  It  has  the  typical 
plan  of  a  terrace  or  “patio”  enclosed  by  three  sides  of  the  building.  The  roof  of  this 
house  is  asphalt  shingles,  the  exterior  is  the  popular  stucco  finish  over  hollow  tile.  The 
construction  is  about  as  cheap  as  frame  in  many  parts  of  the  country,  and  in  the  long  run 
costs  less,  if  the  job  is  done  right.  The  principal  rooms  are  finished  with  cove  ceilings 
and  hardwood  floors.  The  living  room  fireplace  is  very  large  and  of  beautiful  design.  The 
plans  provide  for  large,  well-arranged  rooms,  large  closets  and  all  modern  conveniences, 
including  a  built-in  pullman  diner  and  ironing  board  in  kitchen.  The  glassed  in  Loggia  is 
so  arranged  that  it  can  be  used  as  a  summer  dining  room  overlooking  the  patio  with  its 
flowers  and  tumbling  fountain.

splendid  adaptation  of  the  old  English,  thatched  roof  farm  house,  but  con- 
sl^ructed  of  much  more  substantial  materials.  The  stucco  is  rough  cast  on  hollow  tile  and 
the  root  is  asbestos  shingles.  Can  you  imagine  anything  better  in  the  way  of  building 
materials  Hollow  ti  e  is  one  of  the  most  fireproof  building  materials  ever  put  on  the  mar¬ 
ket.  while  asbestos  is  the  one  word  first  thought  of  when  thinking  of  fire  prevention.  Think 
of  It;  you  will  never  have  to  paint  your  walls  and  the  roof  never  requires  any  stain  but  re¬ 
mains  the  same  color  to  the  end  of  time.  This  is  not  a  large  house  and  can  easily  be  built 
on  a  fifty-foot  lot  and  eave  ample  room  for  driveway  and  garage.  The  interior  arrange¬ 
ment  IS  well  worthy  of  its  exterior— Every  possible  convenience  is  provided  and  an  ex¬ 
tremely  practical  plan  has  been  evolved — one  which  merits  careful  study.

327 — This  eight-room  bungalow  is  of  a  type  which  we  may  call  medium  cost  and  large  accommodation.  The  design  savors 
of  great  substantiality,  notably  in  the  foundation  walls  and  the  granite  rubble  of  the  porch  work  and  chimneys.  The  little  note 
of  half  timber  which  shines  in  gables  is  a  very  pretty  note.  The  disposition  of  the  various  rooms  is  good,  and  a  room,  the  library, 
IS  provided  which  can  be  used  as  a  bed  room  if  the  size  of  the  family  necessitates.  Upstairs  are  two  large  bed  rooms,  each  having 
its  own  light  and  roomy  closet,  bath  room  and  storage  space  under  the  eaves.

457 — It  is  hard  to  keep  from  getting  enthusiastic  about  as  pretty  a  bungalow  as  this, 
especially  after  an  inspection  of  the  house  itself.  “Solid  and  sensible”  just  describe  it. 
Where  large  rooms ’and  closet  space  are  needed,  it  would  be  hard  to  find  a  nicer  plan  than 
this.  The  entrance  is  into  a  vestibule  which  opens  into  a  reception  hall  with  living  and 
dining  rooms  on  opposite  sides.  The  porch  floor  is  cement  on  dirt  filling.  The  house  is 
very  well  planned  with  all  the  rooms  independent  of  each  other,  yet  easy  of  access.  The 
dining  room  has  an  exceptionally  fine  buffet.  The  living  room  is  large  and  has  a  large 
open  fireplace.

out,  different  detail.  Note  the  extra  wide  verge  boards  and  rich,  heavy  moldings.  The 
first  story  is  shingles  in  alternate  courses.  The  second  story  is  cement  plaster  on  galvanized 
metal  lath.  The  curved  hood  over  the  front  entrance  and  the  balcony  effect  of  the  second 
story  windows  break  up  an  otherwise  rather  plain  wall.  I  hree  large  well  planned  rooms

a  bedroom  or  sleeping  porch.  The  bathroom  is  placed  where  it  is  handy  to  all  rooms,  as 
well  as  economical  for  plumbing.  The  house  proper  is  33'  0  "  wide  and  33'  0"  deep.

322 — While  varying  somewhat  from  what  one  would  ordinarily  term  bungalow, 
this  design  has  several  points  of  merit.  I  he  light  and  cheerful  aspect  of  the  cement  plaster 
forms  a  pleasing  contrast  with  the  dark  red  brick  pilasters.  The  house  is  very  conveniently 
arranged,  and  each  bed  room  is  provided  with  a  clothes  closet  and  lavatory.  Access  is 
had  to  the  bath  room  through  a  hall,  which  is  lighted  and  ventilated  by  a  skylight.  1  he 
dining  room  is  paneled  to  a  height  of  the  plate  rail,  above  which  in  square  forms  extend 
quaint  Dutch  figures  around  the  room.

729 — Some  tell  us  that  in  a  few  years  we  will  be  traveling  as  unconcernedly  through 
the  air  as  we  now  do  on  the  well  paved  roads  of  today.  This  statement  remains  for  the 
future  to  prove.  But  the  number  who  are  building  the  so  called  aeroplane  type  of  home 
steadily  grows  and  we  think  that  the  design  herewith  is  one  that  will  commend  itself  to 
many;  not  only  for  its  beauty  and  straightforwardness  of  design  but  also  for  the  splendid 
size  of  the  rooms,  and  for  their  arrangement.  The  living  rooms  are  large  but  the  bed 
rooms  have  not  been  sacrificed.  The  kitchen,  planned  for  one  who  does  her  own  work,  is 
a  marvel  of  compactness  and  is  joined  by  the  rear  screened  porch,  with  the  laundry  trays 
thereon,  and  the  cozy  breakfast  room  in  its  efforts  to  lighten  the  house  work.  The  turret 
plan,  which  for  lack  of  space  is  not  shown  provides  for  two  rooms  with  a  sm.all  toilet  room 
handy.  The  plans  call  for  a  basement  under  the  entire  house.

Kipling  did  not  know  that  in  the  bungalow  one  may  find  an  exterior  influenced  by  the 
architecture  of  the  Orient  combined  with  a  plan  that  represents  the  best  in  Western  plan¬ 
ning.  Our  illustrations  depict  a  dwelling  that  has  all  the  earmarks,  if  the  curved  rafter  ends 
and  upturned  and  pointed  window  casings  can  be  called  such,  of  having  been  transplanted 
Irom  some  Eastern  garden  bordering  on  the  China  Sea.  1  he  walls  and  roof  of  cedar 
shakes  and  prepared  roofing  however,  are  a  truly  Western  product.  But  to  enter  AVhat 
a  wonderful  room!  and  just  look  at  the  cozy  nooks  for  the  fireplace  and  piano.  The  dining 
room  is  furnished  with  an  attractive  buffet.  Did  you  ever  see  a  better  laid  out  kitchen? 
Skipping  lightly  by  the  three  fine  bed  rooms  each  with  its  dandy  closet  we  will  ask  you 
to  step  upstairs  and  observe  the  surrounding  landscape  from,  the  eleven  and  one-half  by 
seventeen  foot  sleeping  porch  in  the  turret  w'hich  is  provided  with  an  immense  closet  and 
private  lavatory.  The  basement  occupies  the  rear  half  of  the  area.

634 — In  design  this  is  a  good  example  of  that  known  on  the  f^acific  Coast  as 
aeroplane  type,  and  its  style  of  architectural  treatment,  its  many  curved  rafters,  ridges  and 
brackets  is  derived  from  the  architecture  of  Japan  and  China.  The  “curve"  idea  has  been 
carried  out  very  consistently  and  just  far  enough,  as  a  study  of  the  exterior  will  convince. 
The  cobblestone  work  in  this  house  is  of  the  very  best.  In  plan  this  is  one  of  the  best 
arrangements  for  five  rooms.  A  splendid  living  room  opening  to  two  porches,  the  side 
porch  being  in  reality  a  carriage  entrance,  a  dining  room,  kitchen,  two  bed  rooms  and  bath. 
Note  the  large  closets  and  the  way  the  stairs  have  been  schemed  to  take  up  as  little  room 
as  possible.  The  second  story,  which  we  are  unable  to  show  for  lack  of  room,  has  one 
bed  room  or  dressing  rooirv  and  a  large  sleeping  porch  open  on  three  sides.

249 — Elaborate  both  as  to  the  outside  and  inside  design,  this  bungalow  will  attract 
the  better  class  of  house  owners  not  only  by  its  pretentious  appearance  but  by  the  features 
of  the  interior,  which  include  a  cozy  vestibule  and  reception  hall,  fireplace  in  both  living 
and  dining  rooms,  a  buffet  in  the  last  named  room,  and,  best  of  all,  a  breakfast  room 
practically  enclosed  in  glass,  available  to  the  kitchen  with  the  same  easy  access  as  the 
dining  room.  The  exterior  of  the  house  employs  cobblestones  and  brick  on  the  front 
with  artistic  effect,  while  the  dark  woodwork  with  its  lighter  trimmings  makes  a  pleasing 
background  for  the  house.  The  reception  hall  leads  into  the  commodious  living  room, 
which  practically  extends  from  the  front  of  the  house  to  the  breakfast  room  in  the  rear, 
with  a  huge  fireplace  exactly  in  the  center.

419 — This  is  one  of  the  extreme  type  of  bungalows,  and  wherever  built  it  cannot 
help  but  attract  a  great  deal  of  favorable  comment.  The  very  exterior  of  the  house  spells 
comfort.  The  use  of  cobblestones  of  assorted  size  and  color  for  the  fireplace  and  porch 
walls  adds  a  pleasing  touch  to  the  exterior.  1  he  interior  is  about  as  conveniently  arranged 
as  is  possible  to  plan  a  bungalow  .  Every  room  has  a  clothes  closet  and  a  pass  hall 
connecting  with  the  bath.  The  dining  room  has  beam  ceilings  and  paneled  wainscoting. 
The  plumbing  in  this  house  is  especially  well  arranged ;  in  being  grouped  together  it  can 
be  installed  at  a  smaller  cost  than  is  general  in  bungalows.

windows  giving  a  pleasant  outlook  in  every  direction.  I  he  front  windows  in  living  room 
and  dining  room  are  the  long  French  type  to  base  board  a  feature  much  in  demand  in  the 
newer  houses.  Note  the  generous  allotment  of  windows  to  the  other  rooms  and  the  fact 
that  they  are  so  placed  that  several  locations  for  furniture  are  possible.  Also  the  number 
of  closets  and  their  ample  size.  The  dining  room  eleven  feet  wide  by  fourteen  and  one-half

allowing  its  use  as  a  bed  room  in  emergency.  The  plans  call  for  a  basement  under  half  the

323 — We  show  here  a  very  popular  design  for  a  cement  plaster  bungalow,  roofed 
with  imitation  Spanish  tile  made  from  galvanized  sheet  iron.  While  the  first  cost  of  such 
a  roof  is  somewhat  higher  than  shingles,  when  one  considers  the  saving  in  the  continual 
upkeep  of  expense  of  a  shingle  roof  the  ultimate  cost  of  a  more  permanent  material  will 
be  seen  to  be  no  higher.  The  rooms  are  larger  than  are  ordinarily  found  in  a  bungalow 
and  are  arranged  for  convenience.

459 — The  light  and  cheerful  aspect  of  this  bungalow  appeals  to  old  and  young 
couples  alike.  There  as  a  cozy  old-fashionedness  about  the  exterior  that  catches  the  more 
sedate,  while  the  wealth  of  light  and  sunshine  from  the  multitude  of  windows  unite  to  make 
the  interior  most  pleasing  and  attractive.  It  is  a  cheerful  little  house  with  a  hoirey  arrange¬ 
ment  and  porch  effects.  The  rough  sawed  cedar  shakes  and  casement  windows  and  other 
bungalow  features  are  here  prominent.  Concrete  blocks  are  here  used  for  porch  pedestals 
and  the  steps  are  cement.  The  rear  porch  is  of  ample  size  and  can  be  used  as  a  breakfast 
room  if  so  desired  on  warm  summer  days.

223- -This  is  a  roomy  house  with  no  ginger-bread  effects,  yet  altogether  a  pleasing 
shingled  exterior.  I  wo  outside  closets,  three  bed  rooms,  with  another  room  available 
upstairs,  show  something  of  the  excellent  manner  in  which  the  bungalow  is  designed.  1  he 
brick-faced  porch  and  chimney  give  the  place  a  substantial  air  of  plenty,  borne  out  by  the 
liberal  lines  of  the  house.  The  living  and  dining  roonrs  are  connected  by  a  wide  opening 
which  may,  if  desired,  convert  the  tw'o  into  practically  one  room.  1  he  cellar  stairs  are 
beneath  the  flight  leading  to  the  upper  floor.  Perhaps  the  most  attractive  room  of  the  house 
is  the  dining  room,  large  and  cheerful  with  its  huge  bay  window,  its  heavily  beam  ceiling 
and  cozy  buffet  niche,  which  gives  additional  space  for  the  table  and  chairs.

2  I  0 — A  two-story  house  whose  exposed  rafters,  wide  eaves,  rustic  siding  and  clinker 
brick  porch  supports  and  columns  give  it  the  bungalow  air,  is  shown  here  for  the  family 
which  prefers  the  sleeping  rooms  on  the  second  floor.  The  exterior  trim  includes  caps  over 
the  windows  and  a  ledge  extending  across  the  full  width  of  the  porch.  The  entry  hall  has 
an  attractive  staircase  and  landing  leading  to  the  second  floor.  A  passageway  takes  one 
directly  into  the  kitchen  if  desired.  A  wide  opening  with  a  charming  arch  connects  living 
and  dining  rooms,  permitting  the  warmth  of  the  corner  fireplace  to  permeate  both.  The  bath 
and  bed  rooms  are  on  the  second  floor,  the  stairs  ending  in  a  hallway  on  which  these  rooms 
all  open.  There  is  opportunity  to  make  a  private  servant’s  room  of  the  storage  space  under 
the  front  eaves  by  cutting  in  a  skylight  or  installing  a  dormer  window.

466 — One  test  of  the  popularity  of  a  bungalow  is  the  number  of  people  who  have 
built  in  a  similar  style.  In  our  city  it  is  built  with  many  variations  in  the  detail  of  interior 
arrangement.  7  he  porch  is  of  course  the  original  and  attractive  feature  of  this  bungalow. 
If  properly  constructed,  the  gable  on  the  roof  is  a  great  success,  but  the  plans  must  be  fol¬ 
lowed  very  carefully.  Although  the  ceiling  in  the  second  story  is  low,  ample  room  is  pro¬ 
vided  for  two  small  chambers  and  a  sleeping  porch.  The  exterior  is  sided  with  sawed 
cedar  shakes  laid  1  2  inches  to  the  weather  and  stained  a  dark  gray,  which  forms  a  striking 
contrast  to  the  white  trim  of  the  smooth  woodwork.  This  is  one  of  our  very  best  houses.

4 1  5 — This  small  and  attractive  home  has  been  very  popular  everywhere.  The  photo¬ 
graph  fails  to  do  justice  to  its  real  beauty.  The  outside  is  a  combination  of  the  rustic 
siding  and  clinker  brick.  The  house  being  on  the  more  extreme  bungalow  order,  finds 
especial  favor  in  communities  building  the  cottage  style  of  houses.  A  more  convenient 
plan  can  not  be  found.  The  buffet  in  the  dining  room  is  larger  than  in  most  small  houses, 
being  five  feet  wide.  The  fireplace  is  of  pressed  brick  with  a  cut  stone  shelf.  A  kitchen 
cabinet  is  designed  complete,  having  doors  and  drawers  below  the  counter  shelf  and  a 
cupboard  above  built  to  the  ceiling.  There  is  a  cement  basement  in  this  house,  with  a 
stairway  opening  from  the  rear  porch.

the  introduction  of  cobblestones  for  the  massive  porch  columns.  1  he  well-proportioned 
roof  and  wide  overhanging  eaves  lend  an  individuality  to  this  design  that  has  nret  with  favor

and  bay  window  on  the  other  to  give  this  bungalow  a  cozy,  yet  distinctive  appearance. 
The  den  with  its  broad  seat  in  the  bay  window  is  an  ideal  place  for  a  lounging  or  rest 
room.  The  living  room  fire  is  in  view  and  the  wide  entrance  to  the  dining  room  helps  to

makes  this  and  other  bungalows  so  popular  as  homes.

338— Unfortunately  our  photographer  was  unable,  owing  to  local  conditions,  to 
show  the  attractive  side  of  this  bungalow,  but  with  the  assistance  of  the  floor  plan,  one  can 
readily  see  a  pretty  design.  The  rather  large  expanse  of  plain  roof  is  relieved  by  a  gable 
dormer,  just  large  enough  to  look  right,  and  provide  enough  light  in  the  attic.  I  he  little 
touch  of  vertical  boarding  in  the  side  gables,  sets  off  the  simplicity  of  the  shingled  walls. 
ITie  porch  walls  and  piers  are  red  paving  brick  laid  up  in  colored  mortar.  I  he  floor  plan 
arrangement  is  very  good,  calling  for  six  fine  rooms  of  splendid  size  and  every  imaginable 
built-in  feature:  bookcases,  china  closets,  buffet,  ample  cabinet  space  in  kitchen,  and  last 
but  not  least,  the  neat  Pullman  diner.  Properly  set  off  by  shrubbery  and  lawn,  this 
bungalow  makes  an  artistic  home  in  any  neighborhood.

low.  The  cobblestones  used  in  the  porch  pedestals  and  fireplace  are  very  artistic.  The 
plan  of  the  house  answers  all  the  requirements  of  the  average  small  family  and  includes  a 
large  open  air  sleeping  porch  that  could  be  finished  as  a  bed  room  if  desired.  The  buffet 
in  the  dining  room  is  larger  than  m  most  bungalows,  being  five  feet  wide.  It  contains  deep 
drawers  and  cupboards  for  the  accommodation  of  a  large  quantity  of  china  and  linen.  The 
fireplace  mantel  is  of  cut  stone  and  is  very  massive  in  appearance.  The  large  window  in 
the  living  room  is  plate  glass.  A  New  Jersey  man  who  secured  the  plans  for  this  house 
describes  it  as  the  most  aristocratic  little  home  he  ever  saw.

342 — This  beautiful  design  is  a  sister  to  the  most  popular  house  in  America,  and 
while  differing  from  her  sister  in  some  essential  properties,  has  many  advantages  in  her 
own  name  that  well  repay  careful  consideration.  1  he  porch  piers  and  buttresses  are 
finished  with  sand  sprayed  cement  stucco.  The  house  is  sheathed  with  wide  and  narrow 
boards  of  rough  siding.  The  porch  floor  is  cement.  Parts  of  the  exterior  that  are  worthy 
of  study  are  the  attractively  different  window  casings,  the  unique  gable  trim  and  the  cut 
of  the  Swiss  brackets.  The  plan  calls  for  six  fine  rooms  with  numerous  closets.  The  three 
bedrooms  are  all  closely  connected  by  the  hall,  off  which  are  the  dining  room  and  pantry 
as  well  as  the  bath  room.  More  than  the  usual  amount  of  cabinet  space  is  provided  and 
the  cooling  cabinet  and  refrigerator  are  given  space  in  the  rear  entry.

324 — This  bungalow  makes  a  very  pleasing  and  inviting  home  in  every  respect.  The 
fireplace  and  porch  columns  are  stucco  finish.  Every  room  in  the  house  is  of  good  pro¬ 
portion  and  there  is  every  desirable  convenience.  The  screened  porch  is  of  good  size.  A 
little  hallway  between  the  bed  rooms  is  a  good  feature,  giving  entrance  from  any  part  of 
the  house  to  the  bath.  In  every  way  we  recommend  this  as  one  of  our  most  desirable 
bungalows.  There  is  ample  room  on  the  second  floor  for  a  couple  of  small  chambers,  as 
well  as  a  sleeping  porch  in  the  rear.

367 — A  wonderful  home  in  a  wonderful  setting.  May  your  choice  be  as  good. 
The  surroundings  can  make  or  mar  the  passer’s-by  first  impression  and  too  much  thought 
cannot  be  given  in  laying  out  the  grounds.  This  splendid  design  certainly  earns  the  admira¬ 
tion  which  has  been  bestowed  upon  it.  The  exterior  of  narrow  cedar  lap-siding  painted 
white,  forms  a  pleasing  background  for  terllised  vines;  and  the  iron-barred  windows  lend 
a  touch  of  mystery  to  an  otherwise  ordinary  combination  of  materials.  Ready-roofing 
makes  a  fine  water-tight  roof  for  low  pitches  such  as  this,  and  if  a  good  brand  is  selected 
will  give  no  trouble  and  will  last  for  many  years.  The  different  rooms  are  well  arranged 
and  labor-saving  conveniences  add  to  the  attractiveness  of  the  different  rooms.

4 1  7 — The  photograph  speaks  for  the  attractiveness  of  the  exterior  and  the  plan 
suggests  how  cozy  and  comfortable  the  interior  may  be  made.  I  he  fireplace  and  porch 
columns  are  stucco  finish;  the  outside  is  cedar  shingles.  I  he  closets  are  all  large.  Every 
room  of  the  house  is  of  good  proportion  and  there  is  every  desirable  convenience.  I  he 
linen  closet  in  the  pass  hall  has  a  clothes  chute  leading  to  the  basement.  I  he  basement 
occupies  the  space  under  the  bed  room,  bath  and  kitchen,  and  is  floored  with  concrete. 
This  is  a  very  desirable  home  for  any  locality.

471 — There  may  be  some  who  can  find  objections  to  this  plan  but  these  would  have 
to  be  super-critics.  For  those  who  wish  a  five  room  house  with  the  much  to  be  desired  op¬ 
portunity  for  expansion  when  the  family  grows,  this  plan  provides  all  the  necessary  rooms 
of  ample  size  with  an  exceptionally  large  proportion  of  closet  space.  A  study  of  the  floor 
plan  will  bring  out  all  the  interesting  and  important  features  but  we  would  particularly  call 
your  attention  to  the  locations  of  stairways.  The  stairway  to  the  second  floor  leading  from 
the  hall  provides  the  upstairs  rooms  with  access  to  all  parts  of  the  house  without  the  in¬ 
convenience  of  passing  through  any  of  the  downstairs  rooms.  The  stairway  to  basement  is 
placed  under  the  other  stairs  and  makes  a  very  handy  means  of  reaching  the  splendid  base¬ 
ment  which  is  the  full  size  of  the  main  floor  and  is  seven  feet  high  with  concrete  walls  and 
floor.  The  exterior  is  so  clearly  shown  in  the  illustration  that  it  needs  no  explanation.

301 — Overhanging  eaves,  a  wide  verge  board,  with  heavy  exposed  bailees  and  case¬ 
ment  windows  make  the  exterior  of  this  bungalow  unique  and  cozy  in  appearance.  The 
stone  porch  leading  to  the  heavy  mission  door  with  its  great  hinges,  sets  off  the  dark  rustic 
woodwork.  The  ingle  nook  in  the  large  living  room  is  the  most  striking  feature  of  the 
structure.  With  wide  leather  seats  on  either  side  and  at  right  angles  to  the  old  English 
fireplace,  the  mantel  of  pressed  brick  and  the  sunken  hearth,  all  unite  to  give  charm  to  the 
little  room  separated  by  a  graceful  arch  from  the  living  room  and  forming  a  lounging  den 
for  men,  women  or  children  which  cannot  be  excelled.  The  screen  porch  at  the  rear  is  a 
feature  which  holds  the  wife  as  the  smoking  nook  does  the  husband.  The  kitchen  is  de¬ 
signed  purely  for  business  purposes  and  to  save  steps.  The  porch  may  be  used  for  a  store 
room  or  annex  and  in  summer  for  a  breakfast  room.

596 — The  stot7  and  a  half  of  the  elevation  has  lent  itself  to  a  very  pleasing  treat¬ 
ment.  With  alternate  coursed  shingles,  stained  silver  gray,  white  painted  trim  and  the  red 
burlap  texture  of  the  brick,  we  have  a  combination  that  is  hard  to  beat.  The  flaring 
skirting  below  the  heavy  watertable  relieves  a  design  which  otherwise  might  by  some  be 
considered  too  severe.  In  this  plan  we  have  the  sleeping  quarters  entirely  separated  from 
the  living  room  and  by  the  same  token  have  made  it  possible  for  one  to  go  from  front  to 
rear  of  house  or  upstairs,  without  passing  through  any  of  the  rooms.  Upstairs  we  have 
sufficient  space  for  one  large  bedroom,  a  smaller  one  and  a  sleeping  porch.

430 — An  extremely  popular  style  of  building  in  all  parts  of  the  West.  It  makes  a 
%cry  pleasing  and  inviting  home  in  every  respect.  The  porch  is  eight  by  seventeen  feet  with 
heavy  cement  columns  in  battered  forms.  The  living  room  with  its  low  French  windows 
opening  on  to  the  terrace  is  one  of  the  attractive  features  of  this  design.  The  kitchen  and 
pantry  are  models  of  convenience  and  contain  all  the  necessities.  The  screen  porch  is  of 
good  size.  A  little  hallway  between  the  bed  rooms  is  a  good  feature,  giving  entrance  from 
any  part  of  the  house  to  the  bath.  In  every  way,  we  recommend  this  as  one  of  our  most 
desirable  bungalows.

474 — Natural  grey  cement  stucco  panelled  with  strips  of  brown  stained  boards  with 
the  dark  roughly  burned  clinker  brick  providing  the  solid  base  and  the  whole  topped  off  with 
a  wide  spread  of  green  or  red  stained  cedar  shingles,  with  slightly  curved  eaves.  On  enter¬ 
ing  the  living  room,  ones  eyes  are  immediately  drawn  upwards  as  the  ceiling  instead  of 
being  where  it  usually  is  has  been  carried  up  on  the  rafters  clear  to  the  ridge  and  the  fire¬ 
place  which  has  a  four  foot  opening  and  an  attractive  facing  of  split  granite  to  the  mantel 
shelf  is  carried  to  the  peak  of  the  ceiling  with  an  exposed  breast  of  brick  in  tapering  form. 
Flanking  the  hearth  on  one  side  are  found  the  double  French  doors  to  the  dining  room 
and  on  the  other  a  bookcase  and  door  to  the  bed  room.  Lack  of  space  forces  us  to  leave 
the  rest  of  the  house  to  you  for  inspection  but  in  passing  we  will  say  that  the  stairway  up 
leads  to  a  small  sleeping  porch  in  the  rear  gable  and  the  stairway  down  leads  to  large  base¬ 
ment  under  all  of  the  house  except  the  living  room.

340 — The  heavy  brick  work  of  porch  walls  and  piers  is  probably  the  predominant 
feature.  The  large  cement  urns  which  are  an  integral  part  of  the  masonry  work,  providing 
novel  plant  holders,  are  rather  unusual.  Next  to  the  brickwork,  the  effective  treatment  of 
porch  soffit  and  the  repeated  vertical  lines  of  the  porch  gable  help  take  this  house  out  of 
the  ordinary  class.  The  brackets  supporting  the  verge  boards  show  an  interesting  bit  of 
band  saw  art.  The  floor  plan  is  a  marvel  of  compactness  and  utility,  providing  six  fine 
rooms  of  the  maximum  size  possible  in  the  ground  space,  24  feet  by  46  feet,  with  the 
minimum  amount  of  space  devoted  to  hall.  The  den  is  a  very  attractive  room,  with 
cleverly  designed  fireplace,  a  seat  and  bookcases.  The  dining  room  has  china  closets  and 
a  buffet.  The  kitchen  shows  a  good  arrangement  of  cabinets.

Interior  Design  3 1  2 — This  interior  shows  the  use  which  can  be 
made  of  beam  ceilings.  Both  the  living  and  dining  rooms  are  beamed, 
while  a  wainscoting  of  wood  may  be  employed  with  great  effectiveness 
for  the  walls  of  the  former.  The  entrance  to  the  dining  room,  with  its 
short,  square  columns  and  high  paneling,  is  very  attractive.  The  sand¬ 
stone  fireplace,  with  ledge  of  stone  for  mantel  shelf  and  stained  glass 
windows  on  either  side,  makes  a  very  pleasing  contrast  to  the  dark 
woodwork  so  prominent  in  the  room.

ceilings.  The  stained  art  glass  used  in  the  high  windows  on  either  side 
of  the  fireplace  lends  the  touch  of  color  needed  to  make  the  whole  a 
most  pleasing  effect.  The  walls  of  this  living  room  are  tinted  a  deep 
tan,  while  the  ceiling  is  a  light  cream  tone.  The  dining  room,  a  glimpse

412 — In  every  way  this  is  a  typical  Craftsman  bungalow.  Wide,  overhanging  eaves 
and  extra  heavy  verge  board  make  it  very  substantial  in  appearance.  Cobblestones  for  the 
large  single  porch  column  add  a  pleasing  touch  to  the  otherwise  plain  exterior.  The  use 
of  pressed  brick  with  cobblestones  laid  in  a  vine  design  makes  this  massive  fireplace  very 
unique.  1  he  exterior  is  of  sawed  cedar  shakes  stained  silver  gray,  which  harmonizes  with 
the  white  trim  of  the  smooth  woodwork  and  gray  cobblestone.  1  he  roof,  though  low,  has 
cross  gables  and  is  plenty  high  enough  for  a  couple  of  sn'all  chambers  and  sleeping  porch 
in  the  upper  story.  Opening  from  the  living  room  through  a  single  sliding  door  is  a  den, 
with  a  built-in  wall  bed,  so  arranged  that  it  can  be  used  for  a  bed  room  in  case  of  an 
emergency  .  1  he  bed  room  is  larger  than  is  ordinarily  found  in  a  bungalow.  It  has  two 
windows  and  an  alcove  on  one  side,  just  large  enough  for  a  bed.  Leading  from  the  kitchen 
is  a  latticed  porch,  which  can  be  used  as  a  breakfast  room.

of  design,  and  are  built  to  last  forever.  1  he  living  room  has  beam  ceiling.  The  fireplace

21  \-A — Rustic  siding  and  cobblestone  effects  in  porch-facing  and  chimney  are  em¬ 
ployed  in  this  cozy  five-room  bungalow  of  the  most  accepted  type.  T  he  stone  enclosure  of 
the  porch  capped  with  cement,  forms  a  wide  ledge  with  a  couple  of  steps  alongside  the 
pillars  for  flowers  and  plants.  I  he  arch  extending  between  the  corner  pillars  in  a  single 
span  gives  an  open  effect  to  the  porch  and  provides  space  for  light  from  without  and  view 
from  within.  This  is  appreciated  in  the  big  living  room.  The  window  seat  at  one  end  and 
the  fireplace  at  the  other  serves  to  make  this  the  most  inviting  room  in  the  house.  I  his  large 
room  adapts  itself  to  the  most  effective  style  of  finsh  and  furnishings.  I  he  dining  room 
is  second  only  to  this  spacious  room  in  point  of  attractiveness  and  utility.  A  small  hallway 
enables  one  to  reach  the  bath  room  from  the  bed  rooms,  kitchen  or  dining  room  without 
passing  through  the  other  chambers.

24  3- A — Almost  like  a  palatial  cottage  is  the  exterior  of  this  bungalow,  with  its  irregu¬ 
lar  lines  of  roof  taking  away  the  small,  uniform  appearance  found  in  many  bungalows. 
Designed  for  a  deep,  narrow  lot,  the  rooms  are  all  carefully  proportioned,  more  attention 
being  paid  to  closet  space  than  is  usual  in  small  homes.  Shelves  are  provided  in  both  of 
the  large  closets,  as  well  as  in  the  large  linen  closet.  A  Pullman  diner  is  provided  in  the 
kitchen.  The  bed  rooms  are  at  either  corner  of  the  house,  with  hall  connecting  and  bath 
room  between.  The  living  room  off  the  substantial  looking  porch  has  coved  ceiling  and 
artistic  entrance  to  the  dining  room.  I  he  latter  has  an  immense  bay  jutting  out  from  the

genuine  surprise  as  to  size,  having  six  large,  well-arranged  rooms  with  not  a  foot  of  waste 
space.  The  fireplace,  flanked  by  book  shelves  and  window  seat,  is  an  ornament  both  within 
and  without,  its  outside  brick  chimney  affording  an  ideal  footing  for  climbing  vines.  The 
terrace  of  dressed  stone  must  be  seen  to  be  appreciated  fully.  A  fine  idea,  that  of  having 
the  laundry  trays  on  the  enclosed  back  porch.  The  closet  space  is  extended  rather  than 
cramped  by  this  porch.  Think  of  it,  a  closet  for  every  room.  There  are  four  large  and 
two  small  closets,  one  for  coats  and  hats  off  the  living  room  and  for  linen  off  the  hall 
leading  into  the  bath  room.

Hints  on  Bungalow  Building — Pointers 


Build  a  house  which  will  sell  readily.  An  attractive  house  will  command  a  better  price  by 
several  hundred  dollars  than  the  common  kind,  and  it  costs  no  more. 

Use  the  best  shingles  on  your  roof;  it  is  fal  se  economy  to  use  a  cheap  grade  of  roofing.  Your 
roof  should  be  as  simple  as  possible;  every  valley  means  a  weak  place  that  might  leak. 

Don’t  use  cheap  cement  or  mix  it  weak.  This  is  not  an  item  of  heavy  expense,  but  a  very 
important  one. 

Closets  should  be  put  in  wherever  you  can  find  available  space.  Cut  down  the  size  of 
rooms  if  necessary. 

Use  plenty  of  windows.  Glass  is  cheaper  than  lumber.  Be  sure  and  have  the  kitchen  sink 
right  under  a  window. 

Have  your  fireplace  built  right.  Avoid  smoke  and  excessive  discomfort  by  having  it  built 
according  to  our  detail  plans. 

Don’t  build  a  bath  room  without  outside  windows  or  located  so  that  it  cannot  be  reached 
without  going  through  a  bed  room  or  kitchen.  (This  is  a  fault  with  many  small  cottages  and 
apartments  that  can  just  as  well  be  avoided.) 

A  clothes  chute  in  the  bath  room  is  might}^  handy;  it  can  be  arranged  as  a  seat  with  a  hing¬ 
ed  lid,  or  as  a  part  of  a  towel  cabinet.

See  page  three  regarding  special  plans 


(iained  by  years  of  Actual  Experience 


Care  should  be  used  in  arranging  the  position  of  your  windows  and  doors.  By  all  means 
place  windows  so  that  a  draft  may  be  had  from  any  direction  to  air  rooms.  Consider  the  position 
of  beds  and  other  large  pieces  of  furniture.  Bed  room  windows  should  give  good  light  to  your 
dressing  table. 

Arrange  your  kitchen  to  prevent  extra  steps.  Don’t  build  an  old  style  pass-pantry  when  you 
can  have  a  neat,  compact,  buffet  kitchen  such  as  we  put  in  our  bungalows. 

Use  good  hardware  on  your  front  door  and  a  good  lock  on  your  back  door,  even  if  you 
have  to  use  cheap  locks  on  inside  doors. 

A  cooling  closet  is  a  necessity,  and  should  be  ventilated  from  an  outside  wall. 

Don’t  let  your  carpenter  fool  you  into  starting  without  detail  plans.  He  can  not  execute 
the  work  as  well  without  them,  and  the  best  he  can  do  is  to  make  a  patched-up  job  that  resembles 
the  design.  More  than  that,  he  has  everything  his  own  way.  He  may  say  that  he  will  do  this  or 
that,  but  there  are  a  hundred  things,  probably  fai  more  important,  of  which  he  will  say  nothing, 
but  which  deeply  concern  you,  and  these  are  things  for  which  you  may  have  to  pay  a  fancy  extra 
price  when  they  should  have  been  included  in  the  original  contract.  Don’t  be  penny  wise  and 
pound  foolish.  You  may  save  money  in  the  beginning,  but  in  the  end  lose  several  hundred  dol¬ 
lars  on  account  of  not  having  a  complete  set  of  plans  and  specifications.

201  A— Six  rooms  and  bath.  The  sixth,  the  Den,  so  named,  is  ideally  located  for 
any  number  of  uses:  a  child’s  room,  office,  sewing  room,  as  well  as  a  cozy  den.  Entrance 
is  made  directly  into  the  large  living  room  from  the  side  porch.  The  cheery,  inviting 
fireplace  is  to  the  left,  while  farther  to  the  right  is  the  arched  opening  to  the  dining  room. 
The  living  room  has  a  cove  and  ceiling  panel  mold,  while  the  dining  room  calls  for  beam 
ceiling  and  wood-panelled  walls,  enamelled  white  or  stained  as  the  case  may  be.  The 
little  interior  hall  connects  most  of  the  rooms  with  the  bath  and  from  this  hall  the  stairs 
lead  to  the  basement.  Eight-six  by  thirteen  in  this  plan  means  an  ideal  kitchen  with  plenty 
of  roomy  cupboard  space  and  cooler,  and  also  finding  room  for  one  of  the  prettiest  of  break¬ 
fast  nooks.  The  exterior  of  shingles,  six  inches  to  the  weather,  is  dominated  by  the  large 
stucco  chimney.

all  the  other  built-in  conveniences  our  clients  have  come  to  expect.  1  his  plan  is  to  satisfy 
a  long  list  of  would-be  home  builders  who  are  still  looking  for  the  “one-and-only.”  Note 
the  sizes  of  the  different  rooms  and  the  roomy  cabinet  space  provided  in  kitchen,  the  china 
closet  in  dining  room,  and  linen  cabinet  in  hall  designed  to  contain  a  clothes  chute  to  base¬ 
ment.  T  he  exterior  combines  several  materials  and  finishes.  The  porch  walls  and  piers 
are  of  burlap,  or  as  it  is  known  in  the  East,  tapestry  brick.  I  he  skirting  of  the  house  is 
of  w'ide  and  narrow  rough  siding  alternate,  stained.  Above  the  water-table  we  find 
four-inch  smooth  siding  painted;  and  the  gables  are  finished  with  shingles,  alternate  wide 
and  narrow  courses,  and  stained  a  golden  brown.

334 — This  bungalow  requires  a  lot  at  least  50  feet  wide.  It  will  be  noticed  that 
exclusive  of  the  porches  the  house  is  38  feet  wide  and  only  32  feet  deep.  The  design 
calls  plainly  for  a  rough  texture  and  for  light  colors.  The  shingled  walls  are  stained 
silver  gray,  the  trim,  including  sash,  is  painted  white  and  the  roof  a  light  green  or  brown. 

There  are  five  large  rooms  on  the  first  floor  and  sufficient  height  in  the  attic  for  two  rooms 
and  the  sleeping  porch.

3  I  2 — An  attractive  design  worthy  to  be  set  upon  a  hill  is  this  home  of  six  rooms. 
Resawed  siding  with  van-colored  brick  for  the  large  chimney,  cream  or  white  trimir.ings 
on  a  dark  background  of  roof  and  house  give  the  most  effective  appearance.  I  he  porch, 
protected  by  the  gable  roof,  extends  across  the  entire  width  of  the  house.  The  kitchen  has 
a  large  screen  porch  adjoining,  with  stairway  leading  to  the  cellar.  1  he  bed  room  arrange¬ 
ment  is  unique,  but  eminently  satisfactory.  A  small  hall  gives  access  to  dining  room, 
kitchen  and  two  bed  rooms.  1  he  third  bed  room  may  be  used  as  a  library  or  den.  or 
if  preferred,  the  removal  of  the  partition  will  convert  the  living  room  into  a  great  hall  2-4 
feet  long  and  I  2  feet  wide.

with  natural  gray  stucco  on  metal  lath.  The  chimney  is  stucco  on  common  brick.  The 
living  room  and  dining  room  are  both  of  splendid  size  and  each  is  provided  with  a  goodly 
amount  of  built  in  furniture  and  each  has  the  roomy  open  air  porch  in  connection  which  on  a

handy  linen  closet  in  hall.  In  the  bath  room  is  found  the  medicine  case  with  hinged  mirr¬ 
ors  on  either  side  opening  towards  the  center,  a  feature  milady  will  like.  The  ceilings  in 
living  room  and  dining  room  are  beamed  and  are  wired  for  lights  at  the  intersection  of  the 
cross  beams.  The  plans  call  for  a  basement  under  the  whole  house.

307 — Giving  a  foothold  for  all  manner  of  climbing  vine,  the  clinker  brick  chimney 
and  porch  columns  of  this  bungalow  provide  a  touch  of  nature  which  relieves  the  otherwise 
severe  lines  of  the  place.  A  broad,  deep  porch  sets  into  the  front  of  the  house  and  lends 
into  a  good-sized  living  room,  with  fireplace  on  the  outer  wall.  Passing  through  the  wide 
opening,  one  enters  the  dining  room,  where  the  eye  is  immed’ttely  struck  by  the  appearance 
of  size  and  features  of  the  finish.  A  dark-green  stain  for  all  the  woodwork,  with  a  light 
burlap  or  Japanese  paper  on  the  walls  between  narrow  panel  strips,  has  been  employed  in 
the  finish  of  this  room  with  the  best  of  results.  The  housewife  is  impressed  by  the  large 
bed  room  closets — more  than  seven  feet  deep  with  a  wide  shelf  along  the  side.

278-B — Many  original  ideas  are  apparent  in  this  bungalow,  more  on  the  exterior 
than  within,  which  follows  one  of  the  most  satisfactory  designs.  The  curved  arch  of  the 
cozy  little  porch  entrance  and  the  concrete  columns  passing  through  the  roof  and  slightly 
curved  at  the  ends  are  the  first  distinctive  parts  to  impress  the  observer.  The  front  door 
is  largely  of  glass,  with  diamond-shaped  panes  of  large  size.  The  windows  beside  it  are 
long  and  narrow  and  also  have  the  diamond  pane,  as  do  the  upper  sashes  of  the  front  and 
side  windows.  The  living  room  extends  across  the  full  width  of  the  house  and  gets  the 
light  from  the  wide  windows  on  either  side  of  the  door,  and  from  the  door  itself.  There 
IS  a  small  porch  off  the  kitchen.  Note  the  compact  arrangement  of  the  bedroom  closets 
and  cellar  stairway.

277— A  snappy  design,  this,  with  the  four  large  columns  of  the  porch  and  double 
pergola  suggesting  in  miniature  the  imposing  colonial  or  southern  mansion.  While  adding 
dignity,  these  columns  do  not  detract  from  the  cozy  appearance  of  the  bungalow.  1  his 
is  enhanced  by  the  broad  seats  at  either  side  of  the  wide  entrance.  I  he  artistic  merit  of 
ihe  pillars  is  doubled  by  their  graduated  base  and  cap  blocks.  A  dainty  little  reception 
hall  is  found  after  passing  through  the  door  with  the  living  room  on  one  hand  and  the 
dining  room  on  the  other.  1  he  fireplace  is  in  the  dining  room,  necessitating  only  one 
chimney  for  the  mantel  and  the  kitchen  range  as  well.  1  he  bath  room  can  be  reached 
from  any  room  in  the  house  except  the  kitchen  without  passing  through  another  room.

247-A — The  use  of  brick  and  cement  for  the  foundation  and  upper  story,  respec¬ 
tively,  with  siding  sandwiched  in,  makes  the  outside  of  the  house  very  pleasing  in  appear¬ 
ance.  The  porch  extends  nearly  across  the  front  of  the  house  and  has  a  large  square 
timber  for  a  support  at  either  corner.  The  braces  protrude  through  the  verge  board  rather 
than  appearing  beneath  it.  Entering  the  living  room  from  the  porch,  one  finds  the  mantel  on 
the  outer  wall,  affording  opportunity  for  an  attractive  chimney  of  rough  brick  without.  There 
is  a  broad  arch  leading  to  the  dining  room,  which  is  beamed  and  has  a  square  window  at 
the  side  with  seat  beneath.  Back  of  the  kitchen  is  a  good-sized  porch  and  a  pretty  built-in 
breakfast  nook.  A  hall  connects  the  bed  rooms  with  the  dining  room  and  bath  room.

5  36- A — We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  this  design  to  our  friends  as  we  feel  sure 
that  the  simple  beauty  of  the  design  will  appeal  to  them  as  it  does  to  us.  The  walls  to  the 
second  floor  line  are  eight  inch  cedar  siding.  The  five  columns  of  the  front  are  stucco.  I  he 
gables  are  shingled  and  stained  a  contrasting  color.  The  plan  does  not  need  much  ex¬ 
plaining  but  we  wish  to  call  the  readers  attention  to  one  or  two  particulars.  For  entertain¬ 
ing,  this  plan  is  splendidly  arranged  as  the  hostess  has  a  dining  room  and  solarium  in  addi¬ 
tion  to  a  wonderful  living  room.  The  solarium  might  just  as  well  have  been  called  a  con¬ 
servatory  as  this  is  no  doubt  what  it  w'ill  be  used  for  by  many  owners.  The  bed  room,  bath 
and  closet  arrangement  is  of  the  best  and  the  breakfast  nook  is  worked  in  very  nicely.

339 — Rather  unique  in  treatment,  the  long  lines  of  verge  and  ridge,  the  different 
porch  rail  and  the  massive  8x8-inch  brackets  and  lookouts,  lend  a  distinction  seldom  seen 
in  a  home  of  like  size  and  cost.  The  porch  floor  and  steps  are  cement  while  the  corner 
piers  of  the  porch  are  shingled.  The  space  under  the  roof  is  ventilated  by  providing  a 
small  gable  dormer  with  latticed  wall.  Special  care  was  taken  in  designing  the  rooms 
which  go  to  make  up  this  splendid  five-room  plan.  Designing  is  the  correct  word — mere 
planning  would  never  produce  the  results  shown — each  room  is  complete.  No  guess  work 
here,  not  an  unnecessary  line  drawn  and  not  a  line  left  out  which  would  be  needed  to 
provide  comfort  and  beauty.  Economy  is  also  thought  of,  one  chimney  serves  every  need.

is  in  the  majority  and  for  such  lots  of  forty  feet  or  thereabouts  we  suggest  this  plan  calling 
for  six  rooms.  Entering — one  steps  directly  into  the  living  room  with  a  welcome  warmth 
from  the  open  fireplace  inviting  you  to  toast  your  toes  while  examining  the  room  at  your  lei¬ 
sure.  Flanking  the  fireplace  are  a  bookcase  and  seat.  The  ceiling  is  beamed.  Opposite 
you  as  you  stand  with  your  back  to  the  blaze  is  the  door  to  the  cozy  den,  with  its  wide  win¬ 
dow  seat.  Leaving  the  living  room  we  enter  the  dining  room  through  a  buttressed  opening. 
Here  we  find  a  pretty  buffet  and  an  immense  window  seat.  1  he  ceiling  here  is  beamed 
aliHJ  and  in  addition  is  provided  with  a  plate  rail  which  breaks  the  plain  unpanelled  walls. 
Glancing  casually  into  the  other  rooms  we  find  a  well  planned  kitchen  and  two  bed  rooms 
conveniently  arranged.  The  entire  area  under  the  house  is  utilized  as  a  basement.

signs  we  show  in  this  book.  It  is  laid  out  m  the  most  simple  manner  possible,  with  the 
living  room  occupying  the  entire  front.  The  living  and  dining  rooms  have  oak  floors,  pan¬ 
eled  walls  and  beam  ceilings.  There  is  an  unusual  arrangement  of  the  bed  room'  hall, 
removing  the  former  from  any  noise  in  the  rest  of  the  house.  The  kitchen  is  of  good  size 
^d  convenient.  In  addition  to  the  regular  fixtures,  it  has  a  large  built-in  ventilated  cooler. 
This  house  has  a  more  graceful  and  finished  appearance  than  many  of  the  rustic  bungalows.

341 — Stone  properly  used  can  help  wonderfully  in  the  attractiveness  of  a  house  de¬ 
sign.  This  bungalow  has  its  porch  work  and  chimney  of  the  rough  cut  sandstone  laid  up 
in  black  cement  mortar  and  the  use  of  this  material  has  given  the  house  the  necessary  touch 
of  light  to  set  off  the  rather  dark  stain  of  the  re-sawed  cedar  siding.  Flower  boxes  enhance 
the  beauty  of  the  design.  The  floor  plan  illustrates  an  especially  good  arrangement,  two 
of  the  best  parts  being  the  large  living  room,  12  feet  by  23  feet,  with  fireplace,  seat  and 
bookcases,  and  the  attractive  Pullman  diner  off  the  kitchen.  I  wo  other  features  about 
1  00.00  this  house  which  are  rather  unusual  in  a  bungalow  of  this  size  are  the  coat  closet  off  the 

front  room  and  the  location  of  the  basement  stairway  which  is  so  placed  that  if  an  attic  is 
1  5.00  to  be  finished  at  any  time,  a  stairway  can  be  installed  without  disturbing  the  ground  floor

446-A — Very  similar  in  plan  and  general  lines  to  No.  446  but  providing  a  shingle 
roof  for  those  who  cannot  approve  of  the  patent  roofing.  It  is  neat  and  inexpensive  and 
one  of  the  most  useful  of  bungalow  plans.  The  entire  porch  is  finished  in  stucco  while  the 
house  proper  is  siding  to  the  heavy  watertable  and  shingles  above.  I  he  fireplace  wall  of 
the  living  room  is  utilized  to  the  full,  having  leaded  glass  bookcases  on  either  side  and 
ornate  high  sash  above.

The  planning  of  a  bungalow  home  is  an  art  I’AGE  SEVENTY  THUEE 


61  7 — This  bungalow,  built  in  the  midst  of  a  row  of  bungalows,  is  easily  the  most 
successful  in  plan  and  design  of  the  entire  row.  The  exterior — the  repeating  lines  of  the 
heavy  piers  of  the  porch,  its  brick  capped  wall  providing  fine  supports  for  additional  flower 
boxes  and  the  exceptional  treatment  of  the  roof  lines — had  a  great  deal  to  do  with  the 
.success  of  the  design.  The  designer  had  a  lucky  day  when  he  schemed  out  this  plan,  for 
he  has  in  a  space  twenty-eight  by  thirty-eight  obtained  five  of  the  largest  and  best  arranged 
rooms  we  have  ever  seen.  Every  room  is  well  lighted  with  the  windows  so  placed  that  they 
do  not  interfere  with  the  placing  of  furniture  to  the  best  advantage.

309 — Search  far  and  wide  and  it  would  be  hard  to  find  a  better  looking  or  more 
satisfactory  bungalow  than  this  for  two  or  three  people.  Rough  brick  for  the  large  outside 
chimney  and  the  four  porch  columns  add  a  pleasing  touch  to  the  otherwise  plain  exterior. 
The  living  room  is  at  the  left  on  entering  the  reception  hall  and  the  dining  room  on  the  rizht, 
the  former  having  a  wide  entrance  with  pillars  and  arch  and  the  latter  arranged  with  sliding 
doors,  so  that  after  the  meal  is  over  the  senant  can  do  the  work  w'lthout  being  in  view  of 
guests  or  household  .  The  door  between  the  kitchen  and  dining  room  is  at  the  extreme  side. 


Convenience  in  our  plans  is  our  main  object

460-A — The  exterior  of  this  beautiful  home  is  a  strikingly  attractive  combination  of 
vari-colored  cobblestones  for  the  walls  of  the  porch  and  the  fireplace,  shingled  walls  and 
heavy  brackets.  The  shingles  are  almost  the  natural  color  with  light  brown  stain,  and  the 
trimmings  are  painted  a  very  dark  brown.  Cobblestones  properly  selected  and  laid  up  are 
very  artistic,  but  the  use  of  native  materials  like  any  other  good  thing  can  be  easily  over¬ 
worked.  One  must  have  a  good  understanding  of  the  “eternal  fitness  of  things”  or  a  rustic 
effect  among  things  of  another  style  will  look  out  of  place.  The  living  room  is  large  and 
well  lighted,  connecting  to  the  dining  room  by  a  large  arch.  The  dining  room  is  paneled 
and  ceiling  beamed  and  the  extra  large  built-in  buffet  directly  opposite  the  square  bay 
window  adds  a  pleasing  touch  to  this  attractive  room.

202 — Two  features  are  at  once  apparent  in  this  roomy  bungalow.  First  the  porch 
at  the  corner  lending  distinction  to  the  exterior  as  well  as  providing  a  wealth  of  space  for 
outdoor  life.  Second,  the  living  room  extending  across  the  entire  front  of  the  house  and 
nearly  1  5  feet  in  width.  Thought  of  bright  summer  days  and  balnr.y  moonlight  nights 
are  inspired  by  the  attractive  porch,  with  the  substantial  brick  pillars  matching  the  broad 
brick  chimney,  its  wide  eaves  and  commodious  size  on  the  front  and  side  of  the  house. 
No  more  pleasant  spot  could  be  found  on  hot  days  than  this  porch  with  broad,  inviting 
hammocks,  pillowed  seats  and  lounging  chairs,  distributed  among  potted  flowers  and  palms 
and  other  green  plants.  And  when  cooler  weather  prevails,  the  spacious  living  room  with 
a  roaring  fire  in  the  huge  open  fireplace  satisfies  every  home  instinct.  The  room  has  a 
heavy  beam  ceiling  and  is  as  light  as  it  is  large.  The  dining  room  is  also  a  large  and 
cheery  place  with  windows  on  three  sides.

321 -A — This  is  one  of  our  most  popular  low  priced  bungalows  and  has  the  appear¬ 
ance  of  costing  several  hundred  dollars  more  than  it  really  does.  Avoiding  a  stuffy  vesti¬ 
bule,  entrance  is  made  directly  into  the  living  room.  The  house  has  only  four  rooms, 
but  all  are  of  good  size  and  provide  ample  space  for  a  small  family.  The  more  the  plan 
is  studied,  the  more  one  appreciates  the  conveniences  of  this  compact  little  home.  The 
house  has  a  concrete  basement  under  the  rear  half.  The  siding  is  of  6  and  1 2-inch 
lustic  boards,  laid  alternately.

279  A — Something  totally  different  is  found  in  the  combined  cobblestone  and  brick 
chimney  which  forms  such  an  important  item  in  the  exterior  of  this  home.  A  base  of  large 
cobblestones  supports  the  chimney  with  varied  designs  in  stone,  covering  part  of  the  brick 
work  even  to  the  top,  which  carries  a  cement  cap.  Very  plain  and  solid  are  the  braces 
which  support  the  overhanging  roof.  In  fact,  the  chimney  is  the  only  digression  from  the 
dignified  simplicity  of  the  entire  exterior.  Within  it  is  different.  I  he  living  room  has  an 
attractive  brick  mantel,  while  the  French  doors  opening  into  the  dining  room  affords  privacy 
for  the  dinner  party.  I  he  bed  room  arrangement  is  excellent.  The  dining  room  bay  is 
the  full  length  of  the  whole  room,  giving  space  for  a  little  greenery  or  other  flowery  nook 
and  adding  much  to  the  enjoyment  of  the  daily  meals.

are  of  selected  clinker  brick.  The  verge  boards  are  especially  heavy,  being  in  one  piece 
three  inches  thick  and  fourteen  inches  wide.  The  lifting  of  the  gable  points  is  a  fine  sug¬

41  I — This  bungalow  is  entirely  new  and  original  in  design.  The  exterior  is  com¬ 
posed  of  several  very  ordinary  elements,  so  that  the  builder  secures  an  extraordinary  bunga¬ 
low  at  an  exceedingly  low  cost.  The  use  of  clinker  brick  and  resawed  cedar  siding  makes 
this  bungalow  very  pleasing  in  appearance.  The  porch  floor  is  cement,  as  are  also  the 
wide  steps.  The  interior  is  just  as  pleasing  in  appearance  as  the  exterior.  A  small  entry 
leads  to  the  living  room,  which  has  a  fireplace  on  the  outer  wall,  affording  a  foothold  for 
clinging  vines  without.  The  arch  between  the  living  room  and  dining  room  contains  two 
built-in  china  closets  with  adjustable  shelves.  The  kitchen  is  just  the  right  size,  with 
cabinets  on  two  sides,  with  sink  beneath  the  window,  affording  a  flood  of  light.  The  base¬ 
ment  stairs  lead  from  kitchen,  which  is  an  important  item  in  cold  weather.

325 — This  attractive  bungalow  is  an  interesting  study  in  plan  and  design  on  account 
of  its  direct  style.  Note  the  manner  in  which  every  available  bit  of  space  is  utilized.  The 
porch  columns  are  finished  in  the  popular  cement  stucco.  The  exterior  is  shingled  and  is 
stained  a  silver  gray,  which  forms  a  pleasing  contrast  with  the  white  trim  of  the  smooth 
woodwork.  We  recommend  this  design.

747 — We  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that  the  plan  shown  here  will  fill  the  requirements 
of  a  great  number  of  prospective  home  builders  and  prove  to  be  one  of  our  most  popular 
designs,  as  we  have  combined  in  it  an  exterior  similar  to  that  of  the  most  popular  home  we 
ever  put  out,  and  a  floor  plan  that  cannot  be  excelled  in  the  ground  space  the  same  size 
or  for  the  expenditure  of  a  like  amount  of  money.  The  large  living  room  with  its  attractive 
fireplace  of  brick  and  the  grouping  of  the  remaining  rooms  about  the  hall  are  the  features 
we  know  will  appeal  to  all.  We  would  suggest  that  those  interested  in  this  design  study 
also  those  shown  on  pages  24  and  25  before  making  their  decision.

743 — This  neat  little  bungalow  has  a  substantial  appearance  not  very  often  found 
in  a  house  that  costs  as  little  as  this  one.  1  he  combination  dining  room  and  living  room 
occupies  practically  the  entire  front,  sharing  the  honor  only  with  the  porch,  which  is  6'-0" 
by  9'-0”.  The  fireplace  is  at  the  opposite  end  of  the  room  and  in  plain  view  from  the  front 
door,  extending  a  prompt  and  cheerful  welcome  to  all  comers.  There  is  a  coat  closet  for 
the  wraps  and  the  other  closets  are  so  placed  that  they  do  not  take  up  any  extra  space,  and 
at  the  same  time  are  provided  with  windows  for  light  and  ventilation.  I  he  kitchen  is 
well  arranged.

744 — The  exterior  design  is  simple  but  artistic  and  so  composed  of  several  very 
ordinary  elements  that  the  builder  secures  a  very  good  looking  bungalow  at  an  extremely 
low  cost.  Washington  red  cedar  shingles  laid  in  courses  alternating  wide  and  narrow 
are  used  above  the  watertable,  while  six-inch  rough  cedar  siding  acts  as  the  skirting  below. 
The  plan  is  very  similar  to  that  on  the  preceding  page.  The  living  room  is  1  1  '-6"x25'-6'', 
not  including  the  bay  window.  The  bedrooms  are  both  of  good  size  and  each  is  supplied 
with  a  large  closet.  The  kitchen  plan  is  one  of  the  best.

741  —  I  he  thatched  roof  English  farm  house  furnished  the  design  for  this  fine  little 
home  of  five  rooms.  The  walls  are  of  four-inch  cedar  lap  siding  and  the  roof  is  shingled. 
I  he  porch  is  at  the  corner  with  the  entrance  door  at  the  side  of  the  living  room.  ITie 
dining  room  directly  back  of  the  porch  is  conveniently  located  in  regard  to  kitchen  and 
hall.  More  than  the  usual  number  of  closets  are  provided,  including  besides  the  regular 
bedroom  closets  a  place  for  linen  and  one  for  wraps.  The  basement  stair  is  well  arranged 
both  for  interior  and  exterior  use.  A  lot  not  less  than  forty  feet,  and  the  wider  the  better, 
is  required  for  this  bungalow.

426  B — Here  is  a  novel  little  home — quite  on  the  rustic  style.  While  the  exterior 
is  quite  modest,  the  use  of  dimension  shingles,  laid  with  care  and  an  eye  to  the  unusual, 
produces  an  out-of-the-ordmary  effect,  which  is  supplemented  by  the  white  stucco  of  porch 
pedestals  and  chimney.  The  general  arrangement  of  rooms  is  unbeatable.  The  utmost 
possible  use  is  made  of  every  inch  of  space  provided,  especially  so  in  the  kitchen  where  in 
a  floor  area  ten  feet  by  ten  feet,  six  inches,  are  provided  two  cupboards,  a  cooler,  location 
for  range  where  it  receives  good  light  and  a  dandy  pullman  diner  or  breakfast  nook.  The 
stairway  to  basement  has  been  so  contrived  that  it  serves  also  as  a  grade  entry  to  basement 
which  IS  a  great  convenience  in  wet  weather.

435  A _ Paving  brick  and  shingles  are  used  in  the  construction  of  this  house.  I  he 

porch  is  only  partially  covered,  the  entrance  door  being  sheltered  by  a  neat  hood  supported 
on  brackets,  and  the  floor  and  steps  are  of  cement.  The  plan  calls  for  four  rooms  and 
bath.  They  are  well  arranged  with  a  pass  hall  in  the  exact  center.  The  living  room  is 
provided  with  a  roomy  closet,  in  which,  if  the  occupant  of  the  home  so  desires,  can  be 
placed  a  “In-a-door”  bed,  by  means  of  which  the  living  room  can  be  converted  into  a  bed 
room  if  the  necessity  arises.  French  doors  separate  the  dining  room  from  the  living  room 
and  a  double-acting  door  leads  into  the  kitchen  where  we  find  all  the  needed  cupboards  and 
the  much-prized  breakfast  nook.

550 — A  ground  space  26  feet  by  34  feet  has  seldom  produced  a  better  four-room 
arrangement  than  is  here  illustrated.  The  exterior  is  one  that  has  never  failed  to  call  out 
favorable  comment.  The  cement  stuccoed  skirting  contrasts  well  with  the  stained  shingles 
and  woodwork.  The  four  rooms  are  so  grouped  around  the  pass  hall  that  one  can  readily 
reach  any  room  in  the  house,  except  the  dining  room  without  passing  through  any  other 
room.  The  kitchen  is  well  provided  with  cabinet  space  and  china  closet  and  book  cases  are 
built  in  the  buttresses  of  the  dining  room  and  living  room  arch.  The  old-fashioned  closet 
in  the  bedroom  has  given  way  to  the  up-to-date  wardrobe  where  the  articles  you  want  are 
not  covered  up  by  a  dozen  that  you  do  not  want.  The  splendid  sleeping  porch  is  worthy  of 
mention — all  the  fresh  air  that  you  can  possibly  desire  is  yours.

can  be  used  as  a  chamber.  A  small  hall  makes  the  bath  very  accessible  from  any  part

in  front  is  very  attractive.  The  whole  exterior  is  covered  with  six-inch  rough  cedar  siding 
and  stained  a  dark  brown.  The  plan  provides  for  a  concrete  basement  24  feet  square 
with  laundry  trays.

745 — Another  good  arrangement  with  porch  the  full  width  of  the  front  and  six  feet 
in  depth.  This  certainly  will  hit  some  people  in  the  right  place  if  past  experience  in  small 
house  planning  tells  us  anything.  Not  counting  the  porch,  the  ground  area  is  24  feet  by 
34  feet,  and  in  it  has  been  arranged  four  fine  rooms,  counting  the  great  living  room  as  one. 
A  point  in  favor  of  this  plan  is  the  entry  which  protects  the  living  room  from  the  wet  and 
dampness  and  provides  a  place  for  wraps.  The  exterior  walls  are  covered  with  shingles 
laid  six  inches  to  the  weather  and  stained  above  the  watertable  and  rough  siding,  also 
stained,  below.

456-A — This  has  proved  to  be  a  very  popular  plan  on  account  of  its  porch  treat¬ 
ment.  1  he  four  rooms  are  arranged  to  get  the  largest  amount  of  room  and  provide  for 
a  screened  porch  in  the  rear.  The  exterior  walls  below  the  watertable  and  the  porch 
pedestals  are  cement  stucco  on  metal  lath.  Above  this  the  walls  are  cedar  shingles  laid 
six  inches  to  the  weather  about  one  inch  apart.  T  he  head  casing  of  the  windows  is  carried 
around  the  house  as  a  belt  course.

of  the  building.  In  exteritor  appearance  the  same  as  456-A 
and  also  the  same  in  construction  and  finish,  except  that  the 
front  porch  and  steps  are  wood  instead  of  cement.  1  he 
rooms  are  all  of  good  size  and  are  well  arranged,  every  bit 
of  space  being  utilized.  The  screened  porch  is  large  and 
provides  a  splendid  place  for  the  refrigerator.

306  A — Realizing  that  the  living  room  is  the  most  important  feature  of  the  bungalow 
home,  the  designer  has  subverted  the  prominence  of  all  the  other  rooms  of  this  unique 
residence  to  emphasize  that  of  the  living  room.  Entered  from  a  wide  porch  through  a  solid 
door  flanked  by  high,  narrow-leaded  glass  windows,  this  room  is  found  to  include  dining 
apartment  as  well.  A  series  of  five  windows  on  the  side  give  ample  light  to  and  afford  a 
view  of  the  outside  from  every  corner.  The  kitchen  is  tucked  away  in  the  rear,  with  the 
stairs  leading  to  the  basement  in  the  kitchen  corner,  near  the  breakfast  nook.  The  two 
bed  rooms  are  connected  by  a  hallway  leading  to  the  bath  room  and  also  having  an  open¬ 
ing  into  the  living  room.  The  exterior  is  worthy  a  few  words,  as  the  pyramid  column  of 
light  brick  supporting  the  porch  roof  at  the  corner  forms  practically  the  only  unusual 
feature  of  the  front.

stuffy  vestibule,  the  entrance  leads  directly  into  the  living  room.  I  he  happy  part  of  the

303 — A  living  room  that  embodies  every  idea  of  that  term  is  a  notable  part  of  this 
cozy  little  bungalow.  7  he  room  is  1  6  feet  square  and  is  a  combined  living  and  dining 
room.  The  corner  opposite  the  stone  or  brick  mantel  is  devoted  to  the  buffet,  fitting  into 
the  wall  and  leaving  a  wide  expanse  of  room  for  the  round  mission  table.  This,  when 
not  in  use  for  dining  purposes,  may  be  protected  with  a  bit  of  drawn  work  or  embroid¬ 
ered  centerpiece,  and  with  a  fern  dish  or  flower  bowl  will  rrake  a  very  attractive  bit  of 
the  room  furniture.  A  large  corner  bed  room  opens  from  the  living  room,  while  another 
door  leads  into  the  hall  connecting  the  second  bed  chamber  with  the  kitchen  and  bath 
room.  A  rear  porch  provides  space  for  the  ice  chest  and  the  entry  to  the  basement.

453-A — The  easy  sloping  roof  and  double  gables  give  this  design  the  hospitable 
appearance  so  much  desired  in  the  home  exterior.  By  the  use  of  several  very  ordinary 
elements,  the  builder  is  able  to  construct  a  house  at  a  cost  that  is  far  less  than  one  would 
think  at  a  first  glance.  1  he  porch  foundation,  pedestals  and  railing  are  cement  blocks, 
and  the  fireplace  is  built  of  clinker  brick  pointed  up  with  black  mortar.  I  he  interior  is  a 
standard,  five-room  plan  and  is  used  more  than  any  plan  shown  in  this  book.

45  I -A — Here  is  a  bungalow  bargain  that  has  been  built  many  times  by  speculative 
builders  everywhere.  It  contains  many  features  that  the  home  buyer  wants  and  wherever 
built  looks  that  it  cost  several  hundred  dojlars  more  than  it  really  did.  The  living  room 
and  dining  room  are  of  good  size.  Note  the  amount  of  closet  space  this  little  house  pro¬ 
vides.  The  exterior  is  beveled  siding  as  high  as  the  watertable  with  cedar  shingles  above. 
The  plan  does  not  provide  for  any  inside  stairway  to  the  basement,  but  if  desired  one  can 
easily  be  arranged  to  go  where  pantry  is  marked  on  plans.

326 — The  photograph  of  this  little  bungalow  shows  what  can  be  done  for  a  small 
amount  of  money.  While  our  estimates  of  cost  will  not  apply  in  some  parts  of  the  East, 
the  writer  has  just  completed  in  Seattle,  this  cozy  little  home  at  the  exact  cost  here  esti¬ 
mated.  For  a  small  family  we  cannot  recommend  this  design  too  strongly.  Note  the 
fact  that  in  this  plan  you  do  not  have  to  go  through  the  bed  room  to  get  to  the  bath 
room  from  the  dining  room  and  that  the  door  of  the  bath  room  is  not  directly  opposite  the 
dining  room  door.  Note  also  the  w'ay  the  bed  room  wardrobe  and  the  kitchen  cabinet 
are  dovetailed  to  save  space.

462-A — A  half-timber  effect,  with  lap  siding  substituted  for  the  usual  cement 
plaster  in  the  panels,  presenting  a  rather  unique,  but  pretty,  appearance.  The  plan  is  a 
convenient  one — the  builder  gets  the  maximum  amount  of  usefulness  for  the  lowest  possible 
cost.  1  he  four  rooms  are  grouped  about  the  central  chimney  in  such  a  way  that  a  stove 
can  be  placed  in  both  dining  room  and  bed  room,  as  well  as  in  the  kitchen,  thus  assuring  a 
warm  home  at  all  times.  At  a  slight  additional  cost  a  fireplace  can  be  built  in  the  end 
of  the  living  room,  where  the  three  windows  are,  that  would  add  much  to  the  homelike 
appearance  of  the  room.

BUNGALOW  “G,”  21x30 

This  bungalow  is  very  classy,  complete  and  a  big  seller.  Please  note  the  large 
living  room,  bath  room  and  closet  space.  This  is  intended  for  a  portable  house  and  as 
such  is  especially  suitable  as  a  summer  camp  or  for  use  on  a  leased  site.  The  estimated 
cost  given  is  for  the  house  without  plumbing  or  plastering,  which  cannot  be  figured  in  the 
cost  of  a  sectional  dwelling.

'!  HE  GARAGE: 


Today  the  garage  for  the  automobile  is  almost  as  great  a  necessity  as  the  dwell¬ 
ing  for  the  owner.  And  like  the  larger  building  it  is  erected  in  as  many  different 
styles  and  sizes;  from  the  small,  inexpensive  structure  to  the  large  building  capable  of 
handling  two  or  more  cars.  Sometimes  it  has  merely  four  walls  and  a  roof ;  again  it 
is  made  large  enough  for  a  work  bench  and  perhaps  a  repair  pit — and  for  some  a 
building  with  living  quarters  or  at  least  a  room  adjacent,  or  over  the  garage  is  deemed 
desirable.  It  is  built  of  every  material  and  every  combination  of  materials.  Why  not 
order  a  plan  for  a  garage  when  ordering  house  plans?  If  of  frame  it  can  be  easily 
and  quickly  constructed  and  will',  during  the  course  of  construction  of  the  house,  serve 
as  a  tool  shed  and  you  have  the  added  advantage  of  harmony  in  design. 


We  have  in  the  past  years  prepared  quite  a  number  of  plans  for  garages  of 
various  sizes  and  styles  and  if  you  can  give  us  some  idea  of  the  type  desired  we 
would  be  glad  to  quote  prices.  Should  we  have  one  in  stock  that  fills  your  require¬ 
ments,  the  price  will  be  as  listed  below;  for  duplicate  plans,  specifications  and  material 
lists.  If  material  list  is  not  wanted  you  may  deduct  $2.50  from  price  given.

WHAT  OTHERS  SAY 


In  the  past  twenty  years  thousands  of  bungalows  have  been  built 
from  our  plans,  in  every  state  of  the  Union  and  in  several  foreign  coun¬ 
tries,  including  France,  Australia,  Panama  and  Cuba.  They  have  given 
universal  satisfaction,  providing  their  owners  with  attractive,  modern 
and  comfortable  homes.  We  have  planned  them  of  every  size  and 
type,  and  of  all  materials  and  combinations  of  materials. 

When  you  build  your  home,  why  not  incorporate  in  your  plans 
some  of  the  many  built-in-features  which  we  have  devised  to  make 
housework  a  pleasure  rather  than  a  drudgery?  And  use  a  design 
that  will  be  a  source  of  pride  not  only  to  you,  who  know  the  interior, 
but  to  those  who  are  merely  passersby. 

Note  the  following  letters,  where  they  come  from,  and  what  they 
have  to  say.  Your  plans  would  be  the  same.  Scarcely  a  mail  fails  to 
bring  its  quota  of  similar  messages. 


“Yours  at  hand  and  contents  noted,  also  the  plans  came  in  good 
condition.  We  thank  you  for  your  pains  and  certainly  you  have 
“drawn  a  house”  this  time.  We  have  studied  the  new  plans  very 
thoroughly  and  have  not  at  yet  found  one  objectionable  feature  and 
you  can  not  have  drawn  it  nearer  to  our  ideas,  if  you  had  been 
here  with  us.  Thanking  you  once  more  and  with  best  Christmas 
wishes,  I  beg  to  remain,” 

LUCIEN  B.  ROUSE,  Torrington,  Conn. 

“I  am  living  in  the  house  you  planned  for  me  and  like  it  very 
much.  I  want  to  build  another  small  bungalow.”  *  *  * 

H.  E.  CONNER,  Akron,  Ohio. 

“I  beg  to  acknowledge  receipt  of  your  most  excellent  plans  for 
bungalow,  as  per  order.  They  far  exceed  my  expectations.  In  fact, 
I  hardly  see  how  it  is  possible  for  you  to  furnish,  for  the  price,  so 
perfect  a  set  of  blueprints  with  specifications.  I  am  most  pleased, 
as  is  also  my  husband.”  JANE  G.  ROEBER,  Richmond,  Va. 

Sometimes  our  plans  so  please  the  client  that  he  expresses  him¬ 
self  very  emphatically.  The  following  letter  is  from  one  who 
purchased  five  sets  of  plans  in  a  space  of  very  few  months: 

‘‘Our  house.  No.  327,  is  a  regular  picture  and  seems  to  be  the 
talk  of  the  town  or  else  everybody’s  kidding  me.  *  *  *  *  The  house 
itself  is  a  wonder  for  beauty.”  *  *  * 

J.  R.  SUPPLE,  Kalamazoo,  Mich. 

‘‘We  received  the  plans  of  house  No.  634  and  are  very  much  pleas¬ 
ed  with  them.  Our  head  carpenter  was  surprised  to  receive  such  a 
complete  set  of  plans  for  the  money.” 

MRS.  GLEN.  WARNER,  Argos,  Indiana. 


“Delighted  with  plans  I  received  today.  They  are  beyond  my  ex¬ 
pectations.”  A.  J.  MAHON,  St.  Lambert,  Quebec,  Can. 

“Wish  to  say  that  the  bungalow  we  are  now  building  according  to 
plans  received  is  causing  much  comment  up  in  this  territory  as  bung¬ 
alows  in  this  country  are  very  rare,  and  we  might  also  add  that  we  are 
very  much  pleased  with  same.”  E.  J.  FLINT,  Regina,  Sask.  Can. 

“I  received  the  plans  No.  249,  the  tenth  and  after  looking  them 
over  very  carefully  am  very  much  pleased  with  same.  When  the  house 
is  finished  I  am  going  to  send  you  a  picture  to  let  you  see  how  a 
Craftsman  Bungalow  looks  in  New  England.” 

R.  MAXWELL,  Swampscott,  Mass. 

“I  beg  to  acknowledge  receipt  of  plans  and  specifications  for 
bungalow  No.  617,  I  am  pleased  beyond  words;  so  much  so,  that  I  have 
passed  my  plan  book  among  prospective  builders  and  friends  whom  no 
doubt  you  will  hear  from  shortly.”  A.  C.  JACKSON,  Caldwell,  N.  J. 

Mr.  J.  S.  Andrews,  of  Tampa,  Florida,  is  evidently  a  very  busy 
man;  he  generally  telegraphs  when  he  wants  plans.  At  various  times 
he  has  purchased  six  entirely  different  plans — not  a  plan  has  been  re¬ 
turned. 

It  is  not  always  what  they  say  lo  us  that  counts.  Mr.  Paul  C. 
Murphy,  of  Portland,  Oregon,  has  purchased  a  large  number  of  plans. 
Mr.  F.  C.  Ives,  of  Rutland,  Vermont,  is  one  of  those  who  looks  before 
he  leaps.  He  says  in  one  of  his  letters: 

“I  am  pleased  to  inform  you  that  I  received  a  letter  from  Mr. 
Paul  C.  Murphy,  of  Portland,  Oregon,  in  which  he  says,  ‘  *  *  *  of 
them  all  we  found  the  Craftsman  Designs  were  by  far  the  most 
attractive  as  well  as  more  practical  from  the  standpaint  of  floor 
plans,  and  so  far  we  have  used  them  almost  exclusively  in  the 
erection  of  some  fifty  bungalows.’  ”  *  *  * 

We  have  recently  completed  a  splendid  design  for  Mr.  Ives. 

Space  and  modesty  prohibit  any  more  of  these,  but  we  wish  it 
understood  that  any  plans  purchased  from  us  carry  also  the  privilege 
of  consultation  in  regard  to  the  construction  of  finishing  of  any  part 
of  the  bungalow;  in  fact,  your  entire  satisfaction  is  what  we  want.
